Khmer people sometimes give the strangest things as offerings to the gods... or Buddha. As well as incense, I've seen fruit, water... and now coffee and cigarettes. Bourbon, next time?
Taken in the same place as this.

I was listening to this song: http://youtu.be/pwH9vdCxnlU and got inspired to do this shot.
I'm getting a lot of ideas from listening to music these days. I like it a lot.

This didn't quite turn out as planned, but I like it better that way.

Another picture that I don't quite know the meaning of. It just came to me.
I decided while editing that I would add the reflection and make it look like water, hence the ripples.
PT: slight contrast, glow, border.

I had to stay later than usual at work/school because we had a parent-teacher evening. It was pouring, and as I like both the rain and the night, I thought I would take a picture. It was a very quiet moment; the temperature was just right. It was perfect.
PT: contrast, saturation.

I was thinking about genealogy today... and about how little I know about my family. So many things that are hidden, that I might never know... I guess this is what this picture reflects. It's still enigmatic, even to me, and I didn't even know what to call it in the first place.
PT: desat, contrast, blur, lighting effects, texture.

I bought this rail (everyone's got one here), and I'm glad I did, because that way, my clothes don't get wet (I used to put them on my balcony, but there was no protection). Yay to dry clothes!

Took a walk by the river just to take a picture cos I'm running out of ideas. I wanted to take a picture of a boat, but in a different way than usual. Hope I managed to do so here.

This sweet kid gave me a flower during playtime (not even one of my kids!), and I found a piece of scrap paper with Khmer on it, and thought I would blend the two. I had fun with the curves on the Khmer one.

I watched "Lost In Translation" on TV (very rare that I watch films or the telly), then took this picture... then realised during processing that I accidentally reproduced the pose Bill Murray has on the poster/cover. Another blurry portrait on the stairs it is, then.

I love dice, dominoes, chips (like the Chinese chess pieces I bought), cards... anything you can manipulate, with atypical numbers on them, or writing. I think it's because they look like runes or symbols of some sort.
